Ah but you @Pocket_Rocket and @smoofox can fan girl from the side lines. As it would be I, the one eyed buck fart gelding, who will carry the Pirate from the port to the tavern with my head high prancing in full regalia.
I do not understand how Taylor is not held accountable for violating the Krol rules. This embarrassment of a judge is just being a dick to Michael and it is a shame something cannot be done about him. I feel so bad for Michael. He is trying to do the right thing and constantly gets screwed over by one judge with a vendetta against him.
I mean, atleast the idea of passes is on the table. I think if Greystone doesn’t allow any passes in the next 6 months it will look bad and they’ll have some 'splainin to do.
The other day the WSJ had an article about patients lingering in hospitals waiting for enough help to become even competent enough to stand trial. It cited about half a dozen states, NJ was not one of them, but I just kept thinking that beds in Greystone would probably be more useful to other patients. Although if there isn’t staff……
As for the three doctors with a combined experience of ten years…there is a big difference between trying to play an expert and actually being an expert. Allowing a patient’s personality to interfere with appropriate judgment as well as pressure applied by lawyers to actually force treatment to also color judgment smacks of arrogance and defensiveness rather than professionalism.
A friend (who does not live in NJ) had a relative who financed medical school with state aid, requiring they would have to do a year or two working in a state mental health locked facility, or had to repay the tuition and other costs the state paid. That person found out how much more it would be for salary working in a private practice that would also pay their malpractice insurance, benefits, and hire all of the office staff. That person declined to work at the public facility, and made so much more that they repaid the state aid in a few months. That also meant they didn’t have to work with the criminally mentally ill, at a place that has a well known issue with attacks on staff.
I imagine Greystone has similar issues with salary, benefits, etc.
However, I find it unacceptable that a man who was found NG for the reasons he was, has been held in jail and untreated at state facilities longer than people convicted of violent felonies.
First, Greystone is facing the same shortages that are evident in other medical professions. Then, as Down Yonder said, they dont get the cream of the crop graduates. Pay clearly would be a factor, but also it would have to be a truly depressing place to work, and perhaps even frightening. Not sure how much premium that would require…
Not sure there are courses in the education process on how to work in an environment with criminals.
